I just bouight a 5 speed 89 ranger and was wondering how do you check or change the tranny fluid? i want to check all the levels and the clutch resoivor was completly dry so i wanted to see what was in the trannsmission

Sometimes, if the tranny fluid hasn't been changed regularly, its not a good idea to change it. As far as the clutch fluid, is there not a clutch fluid to buy off the shelf at AutoZone or something? Maybe check to manual to see if there's a certain weight to use...I have an Automatic and my four wheeler is a clutchless manual so I don't mess with that stuff.

the manual says sae80 but i can only find sae80-90 and dunno what brand or if they are compatable with an old vehicle like this. also i just wanted to refill the tranny level to normal since it leaks a bit.
